With web design’s focus being more and more directed towards user experience these days, it seems one page websites are here to stay. As a way to catch the attention of website visitors and boost conversions, while maintaining a lightweight look and feel, one page websites can effectively get your company’s point across, in well…one page.

One page websites are created using one page WordPress themes and are great for a lot of reasons: they allow for a simple web design with easy navigation, display useful information in one convenient place, keep your website fast, adapt to multiple screen sizes in lieu of mobile-friendly demands, keep site content to a minimum while still remaining effective, consume less bandwidth, are visually appealing as both websites and landing pages, and aim to meet people’s demands for fluid and easy to understand web content.
